You are correct: confused. In my defense, however, maybe Denon could have called their new SACD player (the DCD-3000NE, and it only really plays less than 50% of SACDs) something that differentiated it a little more from a turntable sharing the last 7 characters of the model number as exactly...

This machine is useless, as it can't play multichannel SACD. Who would drop $3K on a player that can't play the optimal layer of the only SACDs still being regularly released, i.e. Classical Hybrid SACDs? Instead, this is what this Denon player does (from their site): When “MULTI” is selected...

All of these - mainly really old - popular music titles. Those truly interested in great sound might try something more modern, and in multichannel SACD sound. A good place to start might be the Archduke Trio of Beethoven on this recording: try at least the 3rd track. I'd challenge even the most...

Yes, but Fosi are going to come up with something that will surprise you, and I guarantee the price-performance balance will be enticing. Everyone has their own preferences, and if people want things like room correction they are not the same folks as use a (terrible) 5.1/7.1 receiver. Anyone...

Just a bit of an update from my earlier post. The biggest issue with this machine concerns the networking interface. It does not connect to wifi except via Chromecast (or airplay - I am not an Apple person). No traditional method to see a network and enter a password. You can use an Ethernet...

I think this would be an awesome unit. 95% of surround receivers are crap, and 5.1 is totally enough for most home theater folks. It also would be perfect for the many SACDs still being made. Sure, these are mainly classical, but that is where the best recordings are anyway. If this were to come...

Hi @larisoe! - I have the gen 1 version of the Khadas on a second system and it works well. Very neutral IMHO. That said, if you mainly listen via Spotify I would suggest that it doesn't really matter what you use as the vast majority of these files are sourced from 44.1/16-bit FLAC files. As...

Indeed, although I don't think it was a "typo" in their response to me (a couple of weeks ago, and well before #664). It was simply an error on that particular person's behalf, OR it could also have been that the question I asked prompted a change of potential proceedure on their part. I will...

See their most recent post. As a direct result of this forum they are going to make the option of buying 2 amps and just the single 10A supply available. Problem solved!

Can't say fairer than that. This is why folks like us are interested in Fosi's products. The company is responsive to user feedback, and flexible enough to adjust accordingly. That is the way you build a loyal customer base! Kudos to you!

I don't see how this comment is relevant to the issue raised. Yes, they say the 10A power supply performs the same powering two amps as the 'normal' 5A one does with a single amp, but the point I raised is the fact that they have no plans to offer buyers the opportunity to buy 2 amps plus the...

The only SLIGHT problem I might have in buying a couple of these is this. On their webpage for this new unit there is the following: "With a power supply splitter cable, a single PSU can supply power to two amps, saving space and maintaining tidiness, offering you more flexible combination...

Interesting. I found this online: Nelson Pass (in a Sterophile interview in 1992) said that the input stage on the Forte 4 (amongst others) had some of his circuits, but Michael Bladelius was the primary designer. Nice to know.

I bought one of these a year or so ago, thinking - rather, hoping - it might be an upgrade on my ancient (but beloved) Nelson Pass-designed Forte 4 (just 50 wpc pure class A, but able to carry an enormous amount of current when needed). The Benchmark sounded good, but it was ultimately not in...

Hi folks, I live in the US, but have a small house in France in which I needed to set up a 5.1 system as a 'second' system to use for work when in Europe. That is just a simple explanation of why I bought this Canton Smart Connect 5.1 box, and I can now give a 'report' - to some extent - on it...

Yes. There is variable output via the remote, so this can indeed be used as a preamp.

Sorry D - no help here, I am afraid, although I can now confirm to anyone interested that for me the issue was indeed 100% heat-related. Unit needs to stay cool. Good luck with your issue!

I BELIEVE I have solved the issue to which I referred earlier: the dysfunction of the SU-9 manifested by the unit not being able to communicate with its own remote, rendering it useless. It seems this is a heat-related issue. I had it mounted on top of a pre-amp that produced moderate heat...

Thanks! Happy listening!

T - I have been trouble-shooting this ALL DAY, but I think I have found the answer. I had the SU-9 on top of my preamp, which does tend to run pretty warm, and - combined with the SU-9's own generated heat (not that significant) - I am pretty certain now that it was a heat issue. The unit got...
